Replacement key Ingenious solution..or not?

[YellowDieselGolf]

The mk4 key has a recess for the transponder, so you might not have needed to drill a hole. That said, the mk3 chip might be larger.

This mightn't help the OP, but I bought a new replacement key (with blank blade) from eBay for $20. No electronics included, but it was a simple process to change over from my old scratched and busted key.

the deal is: i just bought a Mk4 golf with 1 key, 1 remote central locking thingy. (fob?)

I want a key that i can use to drive my car in case i lose my keys one day.

any suggestions or advice welcome. But don't tell me to spend 400 at a dealer

Would this work with our cars? Aussie MK4s dont have the boot release button

Apparently it does and the boot button works. Just need vag-com or maybe your v-checker. However that isn't the key you want thats for the passive locking system if you want a spare key

Think you want these.

Looks the same as the Mk3 key and I asked the same question here:

The short answer was "VW sell them" or I had a link to a UK place that had something that looked like it might work.

Personally I upgraded to a switchblade so didn't follow it up.
